Manhattan Strip Clubs: Bodley: A-Rod at peace with himself

I asked the Yankees’ third baseman if he felt he was turning the page a year ago when he walked away after confessing to the world, his teammates and reporters that, yes, he was a steroids user while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03.
“It was the most difficult day of my life; if not that, certainly among the top three,” he answered. “It was very embarrassing. I would never want to do that again, but looking back, it was a necessary step for me.”
A-Rod, the highest-paid baseball player in the land, tasted ashes. There was the steroids scandal, his association with strippers that dominated the back pages of New York tabloids and a divorce. He says he looked in the mirror and didn’t like what he saw. His confessional was followed by hip surgery that kept him on the shelf for six weeks.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: Cops in Subway Sodomy Trial Still Face Possible Punishment

Officer Kern’s current job is monitoring video footage at public housing projects; his co-defendants, Officers Alex Cruz and Andrew Morales, are also on modified duty. That’s where they’ll stay while the NYPD conducts its internal administrative review, which could lead to a departmental trial or result in disciplinary action for such infractions as not notifying a supervisor or calling an ambulance. (After subduing Michael Mineo, who resisted arrest after getting caught smoking marijuana, they eventually released him with a summons.)
Mineo, who is living with his fiancee, is pressing on a multimillion-dollar civil lawsuit. It’s unclear whether the federal prosecutors will also pursue the case; last week they declined to take up a civil rights case against police officers who shot and killed Sean Bell in a barrage of 50 bullets outside a strip club on the day of his wedding. The Times reports that four of the five officers involved in that case are still on desk duty 22 months after being found not guilty.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: Cheetahs get stripped bare

Two hot spots, China Club and Cheetahs Gentlemen’s Club & Restaurant, are seeking bankruptcy protection and filed for Chapter 11.
China Club’s filing blamed the fall of Lehman Brothers for its financial troubles. Located on West 47th Street, just a few blocks from Lehman’s former headquarters, the investment bankers were regular patrons. The club also said in the filing that business began declining in 2007.
The club, a New York City institution since 1986 when it first opened on the Upper West Side, listed both assets and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million.

Trend-spotting newsletter Urban Daddy described the experience as the ancient Japanese art of nyotaimori, or “female body presentation.” Web site The G Manifesto described Cheetahs as one of the Top 10 strip clubs in New York.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: New York man pleads guilty to vehicular manslaughter in friend’s death

21-year-old Brian Frankel officially pleaded guilty to second-degree vehicular manslaughter, but he will still face tough sentencing of up to a year in county jail. He will be sentenced in May. The district attorney on the case recommended one to three years in state prison, which is a fraction of the potential seven years.
Frankel lost control of his Mustang on August 16 on the New York State Thruway. He overturned the vehicle on the right side of the road, and 21-year-old Dominic Zeoli, a passenger, was ejected. The car rolled on top of Zeoli. Frankel’s BAC was registered at .16% after the accident.
Two other passengers involved in the accident suffered minor injuries. Zeoli was brother of the groom celebrating his bachelor party at a local strip club. Frankel entered his guilty plea in order to save the family pain, according to his attorney’s reports. The fact Frankel will avoid time in state prison all together, regardless of the sentencing, was essential in the guilty plea.

Manhattan Strip Clubs: Subo culture leader meets Miss Boyle

McLuz of McLuz met with Susan Boyle at her local hostelry for a few lemonades to discuss the BA course in subo culture at the University of Blackburn. McLuz had arranged the meeting at the local Tapas Bar but was forced to change the venue as the bar had a Canadian male stripper that evening.
Miss Boyle asked McLuz to explain the break in at the local library in which several fanatics were disturbed, arrested then deported. McLuz told Miss Boyle that these were members of a secret sect intent on taking over the university. Miss Boyle was shocked to hear of this and asked if there were others in this sect. McLuz stressed that these were the Praetorian Guard, dispatched by the sect leader to disrupt and create mayhem. Miss Boyle was relieved to learn that other members of the secret sect are easily identified by their red scarves and $25 “Red Room Susan Fans Rule” lapel badges and their mantra, “We love you Susan. Tell us you love us”.

Manhattan Massage Parlors: Tiger is no sex addict

That most men are randy and think about sex at least once an hour isn’t news to the women who live with them. Sex addiction happens when those sexual needs override everything else, and render the individual unable to function both personally and professionally. So, based on my definition, Tiger Woods is not a sex addict.
Addiction is a real thing. Anything that targets the pleasure centres of the brain can become addictive. Smoking, alcohol, chocolate, or gambling can certainly change your physiology. Any addiction that gives you a pleasurable buzz in your head can have you coming back compulsively for more.
Sex most certainly falls into this category. It goes from being a happy pill to a full blown addiction when it starts to take over an inordinate amount of brain space. The sex addicts I see in my day to day practice are paralyzed with inaction. They surf porn for hours at a time, find themselves masturbating at work, blow their rent money at the local massage parlours and are generally filled with self loathing.
